Consistency is the key to every good workout routine; lifting the most or running the fastest is meaningless if you only get to the gym once per month. A conservative routine that can be practiced several times per week will always yield better results and a healthier lifestyle. At the same time, individuals should keep realistic goals in mind while designing the optimal exercise routine. It is more important to follow effective guidelines and structure than to conform to preexisting commitments and schedules. Most importantly, your personal workout routine should excite you and make you happy. A routine that feels like torture is impossible to maintain, and can discourage further exercise.
